You`re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go Lyrics

You`re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go lyrics

( Bob Dylan )



I've seen love go by my door

It's never been this close before

Never been so easy or so slow

Been shooting in the dark too long

When something's not right it's wrong

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go



Dragon clouds so high above

I've only known careless love,

It's always hit me from below.

This time around it's more correct

Right on target, so direct,

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go



Purple clover, Queen Anne lace,

Crimson hair across your face,

You could make me cry if you don't know.

Can't remember what I was thinkin' of

You might be spoilin' me too much, love,

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go



Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy,

Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme,

Blue river runnin' slow and lazy,

I could stay with you forever

And never realize the time.



Situations have ended sad,

Relationships have all been bad.

Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud.

But there's no way I can compare

All those scenes to this affair,

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go



You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing,

Staying far behind without you.

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying,

You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to.



I'll look for you in old Honolulu,

San Francisco and Ashtabula,

You're gonna have to leave me now, I know.

But I'll see you in the sky above,

In the tall grass, in the ones I love,

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.
